Games are an incredible story telling medium. So many things work in games better than they can in any other medium like diverging storylines and personalized content. Role playing games are an entirely different beast.
I understand, but there is something about physically having to play the controls that distracts me from the plot, and I find it overall boring. Side quests just overwhelm my brain and I either immediately do them or completely forget about them. I play a handful of “not very control heavy, no plot” games, such as Factorio and Minecraft and I enjoy the creativity. I played with my partner (aka they played and I gave some pointers) Disco Elysium, Outer Wilds and Zelda. It doesn’t resonate with me. :( I know I’m missing out
I’m not a gamer and I know I’m missing something when I see this comment section!

There are several “not very control heavy, heavy plot” games out there too! Hopefully you find something that scratches that itch.
